abstract = {{For applications in proton therapy, linear accelerators can provide beam performances not achievable with cyclic facilities. The results of the development of a proposal for a linac with the maximal proton energy of 230 MeV are presented. Operating in a pulsed mode, with a repetition rate not less than 50 Hz, the linac is designed to accelerate up to 10¹³ protons per irradiation cycle lasting from 10 to 200 seconds. Possibilities of fast, from pulse to pulse, adjustment of the output energy in the range from 60 MeV to 230 MeV, formation and acceleration to the output energy of a "pencil-like" beam with a diameter of ~ 2 mm are shown. Optimized solutions, proposed for both the accelerating-focusing channel and the technical systems of the linac make it possible to create a facility with high both target and technical and economic features. Special attention, due to the selection of proven in long-term operation parameters of the systems, is paid to ensuring the reliability of the linac operation. The feasibility of linac is substantiated on the basis of mastered or modified with a guarantee industrial equipment.}},
